If I wanted to, I could have a fresh bottle of Giorgio Beverly Hills in my hands by 5pm tomorrow afternoon, for only twenty dollars plus overnight shipping. And I could do it in three mouse clicks. Such is the nature of modern shopping; what people once used to put a premium on we now get on Prime. The hunt for objects of desire used to be more active -- there was a jangly film noir detective aspect to the whole affair: locate the thing, investigate where the thing is cheapest, travel to the thing, nab the thing before someone else can. Now there is a neurasthenic passivity to accrual that can make us forget what we bought even before it arrives on our doorstep. Half of my online purchases feel like surprises, cat burglars jimmying their way into my house, clutter without consent. Still, I am the one to blame.
